A large capacity expansion and robust recognition method of dot-dispersing coded targets with binary step-response serial encoding

Abstract

In close-range photogrammetry, it is difficult to meet the measurement requirements of large scenes in actual engineering due to the limited capacity of coded targets. To expand the capacity of the coded target, we propose a binary step-response serial-coded target (BSSCT). The BSSCT introduces periodic binary wave information as an additional feature in the dot-dispersing coded target. Also, a robust recognition algorithm for the BSSCT is developed, the P2-Invariant, and the step period is used for decoding. The capacity of the coded target reaches 7 magnitudes without increasing the auxiliary points. Under different lighting conditions and viewing angles, the measurement experiments show that the BSSCT outperforms other state-of-the-art coded targets. Our BSSCT is a promising standard method for large-field system calibration and object measurement.
